## Description

For air freight, Aarhus Airport (IATA: AAR, ICAO: EKAH) is effectively a non-starter: Statistics Denmark recorded zero tonnes of cargo here in both 2023 and 2024. The airport, near Tirstrup about 44 km north-east of Aarhus, is a passenger operation, handling a record 544,240 travellers in 2023. SAS and other carriers link Central Jutland's largest urban area with Copenhagen, Amsterdam and selected European destinations. Shippers in the Aarhus region should route air freight through Billund (IATA: BLL), around 80 km south-west and Denmark's leading cargo airport, or via Copenhagen (CPH, about 270 km) for intercontinental volumes. Road access is via Route 21 and the E45 motorway.
